[OOC] Lost Mine of Phandelver 8 player

[JNAProductions]

I think we should follow the tracks and goblins and rescue our employer.

[Luccan]

Consensus seems to be that without splitting the party you'll try to find the cave? If so (I'll give everyone some time to have their say) I'll move ahead with tracking back to the goblins' hideout

[NontheistCleric]

If we do want to hide or disguise the wagon in the forest, what kind of check would that be?

I think we can call it Survival

[Matt4]

I'll also vote to go check the goblins' cave.

[NontheistCleric]

Luccan, what exactly does this clearing look like? Does the creek eventually flow into more forest, so we can sneak around the border of the clearing and launch a surprise attack on the lookout that way? Or does it look like the goblin in the thicket has a clear sight down the creek a long way?

You could feasibly follow it further into the wood and come around for a surprise

[NontheistCleric]

JNA, could Yorrel get a casting of Guidance? She's also going to go on the stealth mission but she's not quite as good at it as Smelkie.

Never mind, it got resolved quickly with just Smelkie and Della.

Ah sorry, I didn't see that Yorrel wanted to go along

[NontheistCleric]

It's fine, the worst that could happen is a goblin survives to sound the alarm and we actually have to fight like brave adventurers.

[Phyzor]

Smelkie is only watching up, trying to spot an actual tower. Totally missing the gobbos on the ground lol


How many do we see luccan?

[Matt4]

Is there an alarm system or something where the goblins are on lookout?

Look, most things are taller than a halfling

There are two goblins

Is there an alarm system or something where the goblins are on lookout?

No. It seems they either run inside to alert their band or ambush anyone who makes it to the cave without getting spotted

[NontheistCleric]

Would Smelkie get advantage on that attack for being an unseen attacker?

[Luccan]

Would Smelkie get advantage on that attack for being an unseen attacker?

Yes, technically both would (although Della hit both attacks). For times when Advantage and Disadvantage might apply and weren't rolled, you can either roll the extra d20 here or we can just go with the +5, -5 rule

[Matt4]

I'll roll just to see if I get a crit:

(1d20)[1]
(1d20)[5]

Edit: definitely not lol

[NontheistCleric]

Well, it's not my advantage to roll in any case... just checking, since the success of this sub-operation might depend on it.

[Vorpal Glaive]

The rest of the party doesn't see or hear the fight from across the creek?

[Infernally Clay]

Sigrún is about sixty feet behind Smelkie and Della so she should be aware even if nobody else is. She promised Smelkie she'd be there by his side if a fight broke out.

[NontheistCleric]

Luccan, how narrow is this cave (also considering we want to stay outside the creek)? Might have an effect on our marching order.

Without stepping into the creek, you'll have to march single file. Based on the goblin's warning, you'll still be in danger of the flood trap unless you slip into a side cave

[NontheistCleric]

Is a group Stealth check an option?

[Phyzor]

Ill take point spotting for traps and baddies possibly with someone next to me.

[Luccan]

Is a group Stealth check an option?

Anyone scouting ahead (30 feet or more or moving into different rooms) will need to roll independently. Otherwise, yes, the bulk group can make a group Stealth check

Edit: I'm going to move ahead with Smelkie's initial rolls, but it won't be terribly deep into the cave

[Vorpal Glaive]

Myrus casts Shield of Faith (+2 AC for up to ten minutes) on Netish for combat.

[Matt4]

Retry of the stealth roll: (1d20+6)[22]

[Vorpal Glaive]

forgot the Stealth roll (with Disadvantage):

(1d20+2)[18]
(1d20+2)[16]

[Vorpal Glaive]

His bonus was wrong and should be +1 not +2. Sorry!

[Lentrax]

Stealth for Netish: (1d20+2)[19]

[JNAProductions]

If I can safely Guidance myself, I'll do that before Stealthing.
If not, I'll just roll Stealth normally.

(1d20-1)[1]

Big roll, high money! :P
